Will there be the sex pistols again in their original version? Hardly – because John Lydon swore to come back to the band “never”.
The former Pistols front man was recently asked by the news agency “PA Media” whether he could imagine again to get together with his former bandmates. He found very clear words for his answer: “Never, not after what I think is the dirty talents. Should they socket in the expectations of Walt Disney.” He further explained: “You killed the content or did your best and turned the whole into a childish garbage, and that’s unacceptable. I’m sorry, I will no longer support it. As far as it affects me, I am Pistols, and you are not.”
John Lydon says: “Clowns circus at work”
Last month, the band performed at a fundraising event of the “Teenage Cancer Trust”, like the male before without Lydon. The latter now explained that he was initially “insulted” about the exclusion, but now find the situation “hilarious”. This seems to be mainly due to the new occupation of the group, because he described it as a “clown circus at work”. In the meantime, the band is simply too “Woke”.
John Lydon is still musically active. With his band Public Image Ltd. Let’s go on tour next month. As the singer explained, he can now live out his experimental side better than the Pistols. “I really wanted [mit den Pistols] Experiment, “said the 69-year-old.” I wrote ‘religion’, a famous Pil song, when I was with the Pistols, but unfortunately they didn’t want to do anything with it. ‘Oh, you can’t say’. But: ‘Have you not already heard everything I said? This is a lightweight.’ “That the original constellation of the musicians no longer harmonizes. He explained: “That was frustrating, but I mean again, I don’t want to put them down again. It is not her fault that they are talent -free and damn not get on again, right?”
Past court trial between the members
All of these statements are not very surprising if you remember what happened between the former bandmates in 2021. At that time Paul Cook and Steve Jones started a trial against Lydon, which dealt with the use of songs in the TV series “Pistol”. Lydon wanted to prevent music from being used by sex pistols in the biopic. Ultimately, he lost the process.
Both bands go on tour
The current constellation of the sex pistols consists of the original band members Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock and the new singer Frank Carter. This year the group is going on tour for the first time in several decades. At the center, your debut album Never Mind the Bollocks, here’s the sex pistols.
In the course of this, there will also be a concert in Germany – on July 4 in Berlin in the Spandau Citadel. Public image Ltd. will play a show in this country that takes place on June 8th at the “Wave Gothic Meeting” festival in Leipzig.
